    Its use of 'thick' is as in broad

    similar to how one might say a 'thick' scottish or 'Yorkshire' accent

    maybe but they used strong for a Jamaican accent in the report.

    doesn't really bother me so I put it in the media section. Just wondering how the Irish Mail will deal with it. I bet they won't use thick though.

    Aw Crap, they'll all be looking for that operation now, mad to be paddies. We'll have to send people over to listen to them to tell them what part they're from and to see if they have phrases like 'How's she cuttin'?'.....

    Wonder how long one of our resident europhobes relies on the Oirish Daily Mail or its UK stablemate for some "exclusive" evidence about the big, bad European Union.

    English man has brain op and wakes up with strong Irish accent.That better? Nah,still racist but less 'edgy'.You gotta be 'edgy' in stand up you know.

    Yorkshire lad has brain op and suddenly starts getting the drinks in.No,don't be stupid, credibility gap,back to the drawing board.

    There's been a number of similar cases around the world. I guess it's funny if it goes away after a while.
